Description

  The present invention relates to a telescope type packing apparatus placed on the top of a pallet, and more particularly to a packing apparatus capable of packing a large-sized apparatus.

  In the past, wood was used to pack large cargo. However, in recent years, packaging using reinforced cardboard has attracted attention because of the need for removing wood for environmental conservation. Packaging using cardboard for large cargo can be said to meet the requirements of 3R (recycle, reuse, reduce).

Patent Document 1 discloses a packaging device using cardboard for packaging a copying machine or the like.
Japanese Patent No. 3223448

  FIG. 7 is a cross-sectional view of the cardboard.

It is not necessary to connect a plurality of cardboards in the vertical direction. On the other hand, when the perimeter of a large cargo is large, it is possible to cope with the problem by increasing the number of connecting portions.

  And in this packing apparatus, the connection part has the two opposing sides of the sleeve formed of the four surrounding plates 11, 12, 13, 14 and the four connection members 15 formed in a rectangular shape at least in plan view. In particular, since the four surrounding plates 11, 12, 13, and 14 are arranged in the state in which the flow direction is the vertical direction because they are arranged at positions corresponding to the side surfaces on the long side. The strength of each of the surrounding plates 11, 12, 13, and 14 cannot be sufficiently expected because the flow direction is vertical, but the connecting member 15 can improve the strength so as to make up for it. It becomes possible to plan. At this time, the connecting member 15 has a configuration in which the liners of the first cardboard piece 21, the second cardboard piece 22, and the third cardboard piece 23 are bonded to each other. It is possible to sufficiently improve the strength of the sleeve formed of the surrounding plates 11, 12, 13, 14 and the four connecting members 15.

  Next, another embodiment of the present invention will be described. 6A and 6B are views showing a connecting member 25 according to another embodiment, in which FIG. 6A is a side view thereof, and FIG. 6B is a perspective view thereof.

  Similarly to the connecting member 15, the connecting member 25 also includes a first plate member 28 having a front side contact surface that comes into contact with any one of the four surrounding plates 11, 12, 13, and 14, and four sheets.
